Challenges of AUTOMATED ASSEMBLY.

Thanks to advancements in robotics, software and computer vision most stages of manufacturing today are highly automated-from the development of the most miniscule components to the distribution of the product itself. Every assembly is a binary tree Boeing's 787 Dreamliner drew attention last year because the airframe was fabricated in large chunks in facilities all over the world, then flown to one place for final assembly. A software-powered simulation for assembly behavior can compensate for the gap in automation by exploring scenarios and building intuition in the safety of a high-fidelity digital twin.
